Officers

President: Khalid Qarryzada

Hi, I’m Khalid, and I am currently a fourth-year Electrical Engineering student. I’m the director for the club, so my job mostly entails administration and being the spokesman for the club. In case you’re curious (which I assume you are, given the fact that you’re reading this), I began magic about four and a half years ago because I was fascinated with its deceptive nature. However, my reason for staying and continuing to explore the art was a little more different – I had become enamored with all of the subtleties and intricacies that are integral to making magic whole. For me, magic is both a form of expression and a gift that I share with anyone (well, anyone who’s willing to watch me flail a deck of cards around for at least five minutes). I’ve also found that I enjoy teaching magic very much, which is of course one of my biggest roles for the club. Besides magic, I enjoy video games, programming, chess and reading. I’m always willing to talk about my passion for the art, so send me an e-mail if you would like to talk about it!

Webmaster: Alex Aguirre

I am currently a fourth year Environmental Science student with a focus in Biology. I started performing magic as a way to improve my public speaking skills, and along the way began to appreciate magic as an art. I’ve been performing magic for about 3 years and although that may not seem like much, dedication and practice go a long way! From the moment i began performing, I’ve loved every minute. Aside from magic, I enjoy film, comics, the outdoors and sloths.

Marketing: Alisha Kalangara

I’m a sophomore Computational Biology major who doesn’t really know what to do in the future. I’ve been doing magic on and off for a couple of years. I enjoy binge watching TV shows, and my favorites at the moment are The 100, Jane the Virgin, Mr. Robot and Orphan Black.

Treasurer: Chris Fitzsimmons

Hi, my name is Chris Fitzsimmons and I am the treasurer. I am 18 years old and have been performing magic for almost 3 years. I am a Chemical Engineering major and hate myself almost daily for making such a bad life decision. I’m from Fullerton, California and moved here because I’m way too broke to go to Stanford.
